Stores

If you're planned on doing some shopping while in Ireland, bear in mind that certain businesses will be closed when you arrive. Irish Catholic traditions are strong, and while many people are investigating other religions and ideas, Catholic ideals tend to persist in various respects. Because Sunday is a day of rest according to the Bible, several places become unusually drowsy on that day. In most touristic regions, you won't have any problems. This is absolutely one of the things to know before traveling to Ireland.

If you're visiting a smaller town, though, you should try to finish your shopping and errands before Saturday. There are a few stores that will not be participating in the shopping frenzy when businesses reopen their doors for the first time after nearly five months of restrictions. Many companies have been crushed by the lockdown, while others were intending to close anyway, although the epidemic hastened the process. You won't always be able to visit these stores, whether you're shopping for shoes, a new phone, or a new pair of hair extensions.
